Best Ways To Relieve Back Pain During Pregnancy

Best Ways To Relieve Back Pain During Pregnancy

Back pain is fairly common during pregnancy, but you shouldn’t just accept it as part of the process. Here are my home care instructions to relieve back pain during pregnancy:

Exercise is the most effective way to prevent or manage back pain. Swimming and walking are great activities.

Do not stand in one place for long periods of time

Do not wear high heels

Sit in chairs with good posture. Use a pillow on your lower back if necessary

If you are sore after a nights rest, your bed may be too soft. Place a board underneath.

Try sleeping on your side, preferably your left with a pillow between your legs.

When lifting objects, listen to your body. Bend your knees more so the pressure is on your legs and you are not straining your back.

Eat a healthy diet, try to gain weight according to your caregiver.

Use heat or cold packs three to four times a day for 15 minutes

Only take over-the-counter medicines for pain, discomfort or fever.

Prolonged bed rest for over 48 hours will aggravate your condition. Use only bed rest for most extreme episodes of back pain.

For acute conditions, ice is very good: Wrap ice in a towel and leave on for 10-20 minutes every 2 hours, or as needed.

The use of heat packs for 30 minutes after activities very helpful.

If problems persist, see your caregiver. They may recommend a back brace, a maternity girdle, an elastic sling or a massage therapist or acupuncture.
